Its mesh construction helps to protect your clothes from the elements and easily transport your laundry. It also has a locking drawstring closure so you never have to worry that it will open and spill out your personal items. Further, these large laundry bags are machine washable, so you can reuse it over and over again, just adding it to the laundry when it seems to be getting a little dirty. It's an ideal bag for college, dorm and apartment dwellers or anyone who prefers a bag to a laundry basket.
